White supremacy in Colombia Part 2: migratory racism
by Adriaan Alsema November 30, 2020
Colombias migration policy sought to whiten society through immigration for more than half of the countrys history.
The South American countrys history of migration policies is no more embarrassing than those of the United States, where children were put in cages until recently, or Europe and its history of antisemitism.
Colombias first law after its independence from Spain, Law 1 of 1821, banned the import of slaves, which ended the immigration of Africans only years after the Spanish stopped coming.
The first immigration law passed Congress in 1823 and allowed private firms to attract Europeans who would strengthen the revolutionaries good nature and subordinate and labor-loving habits and would strengthen the white community of origin, religion and language; an analogy of character.
Unlike the Spanish conquistadors, who would often retire in Spain, the new immigrants were expected to have above all, the spirit of staying among us.
Asians, however, were excluded from the governments plans to expand the population as there is no advantage in increasing our population with the Asian or Malay race, unlike the vigorous and intelligent European race.
